Hey guys what do you think is the best guitar tones that you've ever heard? I thought it might be quite interesting to see what people think. I'd also like to check out the gear that these guitarists use as i'd like to try and recreate some sounds using my PODxt just so that i can get better at using it .

Gear:Homemade strat (You still need to look at its topic!)Squier strat (probably going to get rid of it and get another guitar instead) :)Line 6 spider amp (not actually used for anything, just acts as a speaker)Digitech Gnx2 (kind of old, but cheap, and sounds amazing!)

Start by playing something - a bend, a riff, a scale, a song - very slowly; if you make a mistake, start over; do this over and over, until you can play it flawlessly - and I do mean flawlessly - many times in a row. Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

May I ask what do you understand by tone ? For me that it's bending/vibrato/picking dynamics, basically everything that comes out of your fingers.Sound for me is much treble/bass/mids etc.

Talking about picking dynamics, definitely Paul Gilbert. Bending and vibrato, hm there are so much good ones, but my favourites are John Petrucci, Marcus Lavendell, Michael Romeo, Dimebag Darrell and some more.
